OCCUPY READER: Call for Visual Contributions

 

OCCUPY READER

 

Call for Visual Contributions: 

Anthology // Occupy Amsterdam 

 

A group of artists, writers & activists is currently writing an Anthology of ideas, tactics, & concepts, inspired by our experience at Occupy Amsterdam. One goal of this anthology is to offer proposals, visions and reflections. We want to investigate the elements of the political visions that functioned within Occupy, in terms of aims, strategies, analysis as well as tactics – so that the Occupy experience can help to nourish future forms of activism. How can Occupy be extended – beyond the camp, into the future, into the rest of the city, the country, the world?
 

 

The anthology will have an open form that will include texts of many different kinds and authors addressing a great variety of subjects. In order to accommodate this, we have chosen to organize the anthology into 99 lemmas, like an encyclopedia. An entry could be any kind of text, from short definitions to complete essays, from histories to images.
 

 

We are still interested in expanding our range of contributors, in particular we are looking for visual contributions of various kinds – illustrations, autonomous works, visuals inspired by Occupy, for graphic novels, archive material, photographs, drawings, cartoons, posters, flyers.... We would be happy to receive your contribution!
